ADLER'S APPETITE: New Rehearsal Footage Available

January 16, 2009

Former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler's MySpace page has been updated with the first video blog from Steven's ADLER'S APPETITE band. The two-and-a-half-minute clip, which features footage from the group's January 14, 2009 rehearsal, can be viewed below.

ADLER'S APPETITE will embark on a full U.S. tour first time ever this spring. The group will perform the iconic GN'R album "Appetite For Destruction" in its entirety along with other classics and some surprises.

The trek is scheduled to kick off late February and run through early April.

ADLER'S APPETITE's current lineup is rounded out by singer Sheldon Tarsha, Alex Grossi (HOOKERS 'N' BLOW, ex-QUIET RIOT) on guitar, Michael Thomas (FASTER PUSSYCAT) on guitar, and Chip Z'nuff (ENUFF Z'NUFF) on bass.

The band will play a one-off show at the Key Club in Hollywood tomorrow (Saturday, January 17).

Upcoming ADLER'S APPETITE shows:

Jan. 17 - The Key Club - West Hollywood, CA
Feb. 21 - Hard Rock Casino - Wasted Space - Las Vegas, NV
Feb. 28 - Brixton South Bay - Redondo Beach, CA
Jul. 11 - Santa Fe Station Hotel & Casino - Las Vegas, NV

ADLER'S APPETITE commemorated the 20th anniversary of GNR's classic debut "Appetite for Destruction" in 2007 by touring South America. However, Adler was forced to cancel a European tour with the band due to "personal issues."

A court commissioner in Los Angeles agreed last month to place Adler in a state-sanctioned drug rehabilitation program and keep the drummer out of prison.

Adler's court appearance came a day after TV audiences watched him graduate from a drug-treatment program that is the focus of VH1's show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew".

Adler was arrested in Los Angeles on July 18, 2008 after someone called police to report he was causing a disturbance.

The drummer is featured in "Celebrity Rehab Presents Sober House", an eight-episode, one hour series that premiered last night (Thursday, January 15) on VH1.

The other members of GUNS N' ROSES band threw Adler out in 1989, saying his drug use was harming his performance. In 1993, the band agreed to pay him $2.3 million to settle Adler's lawsuit claiming a 1990 agreement by which he gave up his interest in the band was read to him and signed without his attorney present.
